Id agree with last round of 2002 against the Blues for us. The whole package of what the result meant and the game itself. To top it off I went with 3 Carlton supporters. Was like high strength Viagra wrapped up in a sports package
 
You had your 4peat belief dashed by a lanky four eyed campaigner from America and upset tummys

Doesn't really work sorry PN as we were hoping for a 2peat at that stage. We got one straight after. So you delayed rather than dashed our hopes. Well, Collingwood and gastro + Dusty injury + cheatpires x a little bit of masonry.

Pretty sure that is where the freemason movement commenced. They should be called the freekickmasons. 🤣

They were all marks. He would of kicked 8 with some frees and really made knobs of you. Anyway Dom Sheed gave me gastro 8 days later

Was it you who picked me up on my grammar earlier on this thread(post #76?) ;)

But yes, Cox had his way with us in the air, and from the umpires. Still as you say, it allowed you to yet again do something we haven't quite managed as yet, ie lose a Grand Final to a team from another state. :)

Yeah i did mate. You contradicted yourself though. I just speak fluent Collingwood. We dont discriminate losing to states though. Were flat out trying to win one against anyone
 
Was that after the "leading teams" sit down that would break the delicate players these days

iirc, they did that after missing finals the year before, Jnr was handed some home truths.

The sit down was after the round 5 loss to North at Kardinia which left Geelong sitting at 2-3 for the season. Again, iirc, it may have been at Scarlett's place and Chappy may have been particularly vocal.

He talks a bit about here.

Last round of 2002 you lost to the Bulldogs by 7 goals.

Of course, I know that you probably meant 2022, not 2002, but given you'd just taken a cheap shot at another poster for a typo I don't reckon you deserved a mulligan on yours.
 
Not even sure that 2022 Showdown was in our top 3.

2014 Geelong
2015 Showdown
2021 Geelong
2021 Melbourne
2017 Geelong
2005 Collingwood
2005 West Coast
Surprised that 2002 semi final against Melbourne is forgotten, one of the best games I've seen and Adelaide won it. They had a huge lead by 40 points, lose it, then had a deficit by 28 points deep into the third quarter, then clawed back to win by 12. That's on top of Adelaide getting screwed over by the AFL and having to play a home final at the MCG.
 

Grand Final wins excluded. I'd probably argue that the list should be limited to H&A wins then, as surely if you exclude Grand Finals, the next best win would be a PF, then a QF/SF and so on. But anyway...

Do you agree with the choice for your club? And if a final has been selected for your club, what would you choose if it was H&A wins only?

Adelaide: 2022 Showdown
Brisbane: 2013 v Geelong
Carlton: 2013 Elimination Final v Richmond
Collingwood: 2022 v Carlton
Essendon: 2009 Anzac Day v Collingwood
Fremantle: 2013 Qualification Final v Geelong
Geelong: 2012 v Hawthorn
Gold Coast: 2018 v Sydney
GWS Giants: 2019 Preliminary Final v Collingwood
Hawthorn: 2013 Preliminary Final v Geelong
Melbourne: 2021 v Geelong
North Melbourne: 2014 Elimination Final v Essendon
Port Adelaide: 2013 Showdown v Adelaide
Richmond: 2017 Qualifying Final v Geelong
St Kilda: 2009 v Geelong
Sydney: 2005 Semi Final v Geelong
West Coast: 2006 v Geelong
Western Bulldogs: 2016 Preliminary Final v GWS

Kind of flattering/hilarious that eight of the other 17 clubs have wins against Geelong nominated as their most memorable.

For Geelong, The 2012 Hawkins goal after the siren was unbelievable and the culmination of an amazing see-sawing game, but I'd have to give the nod to the Jimmy Bartel point after the siren against Hawthorn in 2009. We'd hit the skids after the famous loss to St Kilda (the first time two 14-0 teams had met) and were trailing all day against the Hawks, who were fighting to stay in top eight contention. And, oh, we'd lost both key defenders to injury during the game, so Darren Milburn and Andrew Mackie were matching up on Buddy and Roughead.

On paper, the result didn't change where either side finished in 2009, but I'll always believe that it was much bigger than that and for Geelong, it was the boost we needed as we started to fall off St Kilda's pace during that season. It gave us the belief that we were still good enough to get it done.

Along with Bartel's point after the siren, the match was also famous for being arguably Selwood's greatest AFL game to that point in his career and for Josh Kennedy opting to handball to Franklin with the scores level in the dying stages and Franklin ultimately being wrapped up by Mackie and not getting a shot off. It would have been a big call for Kennedy to have a ping on his left on the run from about 45 out, he would have been torn to shreds if he'd put it out on the full. Ultimately probably the right decision by Kennedy and just a fantastic run down tackle by Mackie.
Essendon choice is a bad pick, the best game I've ever seen was their round 16, 2001 match against North Melbourne.
